I'm making this a positive review but keep in mind that this is more to the neutral side. I'll be writing about a few aspects in this game and what my opinion is about them.

1. Ships
The ships are great, all from a WW2 era and realistic, until... battleship/carrier hybrids? What the ****? The old ways were more fun, you had realistic ships, pay to win was way less and if we saw a ship that was covered with special liveries, they earned them. It was cool and fun. The special weird ships only came during events, like the spaceship event a few years back. Now I go into operations and see a ship covered in veins thinking how much money they paid for that...

2. Combat
Combat is fun, once hitting tier 6 the ships work different and it isn't just point and shoot anymore. Sadly battleships are just massive targets, destroyers are lasting 5 seconds in battle and submarines have been nerfed so bad that you can't kill a destroyer with 4 torpedoes... You get dept charges spammed on you and they damage your ships on the surface as well. 1 charge does around 1/3rd of your ships damage, but the second you're spotted you get 4 of them your way, and theres no way of dodging them. People complain in PVP about the guided rockets, I can see why, but from experience I can tell you that 4 of the won't do anything, and it takes a minute to reload them, by the time you've got new tubes, you're already spectating the game. They are also so slow that if you survive one ship, it is the end of your game as you won't ever see any other ship again.

3. The community
You've got 3 types of players. One is the helpful one, but they won't help you until you ask and they're in a huge minority. The other one is the casual player and doesn't care, won't read chat and goes in guns blazing. I'd say this is around 50% of the players. Now is the last 45%, who are the people sweating so hard that the ocean is getting filled by their sweat instead of the game having to load the water. They would ram you without care, block your shots so they can get the kill, wait for a ship to be so damaged that they're oneshot before engaging, get toxic in chat if spoken on. Oh have I mentioned that this is what they do to their own team?

4. Gamemodes
You've got a few game modes:
Co-Op: Play Player vs AI, low reward but good if you want to learn the gamme
Random battle: PVP, high reward but your game is filled with people who think this is sniper elite water edition, and the ocean is filled with the sweat of everyone there. Most of these players don't know what the green stuff outside is or the white bright thing in the sky
Airship Escort: you need to be tier 8 to even play this, never had a chance to do this as my friends don't have tier 8.
Random operation: This is where you grind XP, small scenario's where you do what you're told, but after a while you know where enemies will spawn and prefire already. Put the highest boosters on and play this and you'll easily get arond 16k XP after a few hits.

I hope this review helped new people decide if they want to play the game or not, or people returning. I personally like the earlier tiers, but the further up you go, the bigger of a kick in the nuts it is.
